Card #35 for 2025

Dearest Blog Readers,

Today my husband cleaned the kitchen up after dinner, 

while I stamped a card.  It was delightful.  The new job

is very stressful with very long hours, but we are grateful

to at least have it, and also for a day off like today.  

I will enter this card in the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp set I used for this card is:

Stampin Up:

Grow With Love

This is one of the stamp sets that I knew I'd want 

for my collection.

Who can resist that cute little seed die. Oh my gosh 

it's adorable, and all the more reason to keep

practicing seed harvesting.  I actually think it would 

hold a gift card too.  I'll have to make sure on that one. 

I kept the card very simple with minimal details.

Getting that sentiment to stamp straight was the challenge. 

I love the little corner pocket I made for the seed packet.

It sits in there so nicely, which will be perfect when the 

receiver opens the card so it don't fall out.  

Below are a few pictures of our garden.  We are in our 

5th year (I think) of trying our hand at having a veggie 

garden, so much to learn yet.  but here are a few pictures.

We have to be careful because of the huge black walnut 

trees in our yard, and plus I worry about the traffic and 

train yard also causing polluted soil, but we are doing the best we 

can with what we have.  

I'm not a fan of tomatoes,

but we'll keep trying because I love spaghetti

and pizza sauces.  

I love our raspberry bushes.  One of my

favorite things in the garden.

Also I enjoy the cucumbers and 

carrots.  

This is the start of my seed harvesting.

I have a few more from 2024, but no picture 

to be found yet, and I was too tired to go take one.  

Our precious Hunter, loved picking peas.

Such a beloved dog. These peas will forever 

remind us of him. 

Now house plants I've always had a few.

Here is one corner of our 945 square foot home.

and here is the other side.   I have a bay window

full, but didn't want to open the blinds for 

their picture, and some out in the porch too.

In all probably over 50 plus house plants.  

They are a lot of work but I love them.  

The pup was playing nicely for a few minutes

today.  Bless his heart.  

The verse I chose for this card is:

Isaiah 58:11KJV

And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, 

and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden,

 and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
